About TravelHosts

When did you last return from a trip feeling genuinely different?

Not just relaxed or inspired, but actually changed. Most travel experiences are forgettable—you book a tour, follow a guide, take photos, go home. Nothing sticks.

We create the other kind.

You know that feeling before you leave—restless, disconnected, going through the motions but not really present? Then those moments during an experience when everything shifts. Maybe it's reaching a summit you weren't sure you could make, or sharing a meal with locals who see the world completely differently, or simply finding yourself laughing with strangers who understand exactly what you're going through.

Then you return home, and instead of immediately falling back into old patterns, something has shifted. You sleep better. Think clearer. Handle pressure differently. The people closest to you notice—you're more present, more yourself.

That's what we're after.

Our founder Ben first experienced this in Buenos Aires in 2010—the difference between a passionate local guide who shared his world versus a burnt-out tour operator going through the motions. Since then, he's guided hundreds of people through these transformational experiences—from Japan's highest peaks on bikes to France's stunning Alps, from Tasmania's wilderness with stressed executives to workplace wellbeing sessions with burnt-out professionals. Business people, lawyers, mums and dads, all seeking the same thing: genuine connection. To places that matter. To people who get it. To themselves beneath all the noise.

Ben's background in Psychology and corporate wellness (having founded Deepest Dish, which served major companies like AMP, Coles, and Queensland Investment Company) revealed why some travel experiences transform people while others fade by the time you're unpacking your suitcase. The secret isn't just authentic locations or passionate hosts—it's understanding how lasting change actually happens.

Since 2016, we've been refining this approach through cycling adventures from Melbourne, international journeys across multiple continents, and corporate programmes that combine authentic challenge with professional development. Whether you're seeking personal adventure or designing experiences for your team, we know what creates those moments that genuinely change people.

We serve adventurous souls who want more than tourist attractions and organisations investing in development experiences that actually develop people. Every programme is designed with the knowledge that when it's done right, you don't just return with stories—you return different.
